You should have implemented it the other way around:
The "cert" option should contain the complete certificate chain of stunnel, and 
"CApath"/"CAfile" should only contain the trusted CA certificate for "verify = 
2", and the trusted peer certificate for "verify = 3".

Basically "cert" option selects certificates to send, and "CApath"/"CAfile" 
options selects certificates to authenticate the other machine.
